Quantum Computing System Design. 3 credits

Catalog description

Quantum computing is an emerging and promising technology that can be used to solve complex problems that are beyond the capability of classical computing. This course is a self-contained introduction aimed at students who might have never been previously exposed to quantum theory. The course focuses on end-to-end quantum system integration, including quantum algorithm design for an application, function synthesis into a quantum circuit, and compiling the circuit to quantum devices. The topics cover essential mathematical fundamentals for quantum computing, quantum logic gates, quantum machine learning, quantum circuit optimization, quantum noise, and quantum error mitigation. The course also provides a comprehensive team-based research and development experience through projects and presentations. Offered by Electrical & Comp. Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
